Request an AI governance assessment

AI adoption is moving faster than most governance programs. Employees are already using generative tools — with or without a policy — and vendors are embedding AI into the SaaS stack you rely on every day.

This assessment scores ten governance fundamentals: written policy, approved tools, data rules, shadow-AI visibility, vendor review, access controls, logging, training, incident response, and executive ownership. Answer honestly — partial credit counts.

Your lowest-scoring areas become prioritized recommendations with links to practical guidance from our Insights blog. For a deeper review — especially in healthcare and financial services — talk to our team about a full AI governance assessment.
